The Fate of Batman Revealed

[Oldsiren]

Jason Todd!!!!!!!

[whotookCheesusChrist]

Ok, gotta ask, do you like/dislike the Batman-series originally titled "the Batman"?

[MystiCxdoggy]

red hood

[repaate]

Hey dude i knew batman stoped Darkseid there but what was the deal with superman and Lex in the end thats the part i didn't get? Was it only me or they realy made some kind of deal?

[agboy061]

@Rollan319 well i do

[agboy061]

@Rollan319 oh..i know a whole lota stuff

more than most people in my school these days

but in comics and stuff, it's said he's died

[senree97]

@agboy061 Thats what darkseid wanted people to think but actually metron sent him to the past and darkseid created a clone and killed it :)

[agboy061]

@Rollan319 ya.he did.watch that movie batman under the red hood. it's alllllllll reveeeeeeeealed....

[dorvil233]

Jean Paul Valley

Azrael again....or jason todd...or send booster gold to the futur and bring terry mcginnis

[agboy061]

jason todd dies and nightwing becomes batman

[agboy061]

tim drake dies and nightwing really replaces him

[AttteroDominatus]

Jason Todd should be Batman

[masterchief3331]

hmm i like the gun toting batman hes awesome although the original batman is still the greatest and most bad-ass!

[javireyesflor]

I thought bruce goes insane and Dick takes the Batman position, this here I heard on a DVD. on one of the cartoon movies.

[TriggerHappyChicken]

@javireyesflor Don't trust the cartoons their story is different from the REAL story

[innocentdevil777]

Finally, thank you for posting this. I have been so confused about what has happened to Bruce after Batman RIP and with Battle for The Cowl. Now I know what happened and understand it. Thank you again so much!

[V3rmundr]

That's why I hate these dumb comic books. They took everything over-the-top with superpowers and shit. That's just wrong. Watch the animated series from the 90s thats what Batman should be and will always be - just a human fighting other humans with twisted minds and fancy gadgets.

No superpower crap and supernatural OMG twists and swerves. That's what happens when you run out of ideas. In that sense DC killed Batman looong loong ago.

[Galactus78]

Batman pretty much shot the God of Evil dead with his own space/time bullet knowing full well that he was still going die in the end. That's so Batman.

[Lordofdragonz]

They all look for batman, they never realize that Batman is the best at not being seen XD

[AceHalford]

Nice, you got the batman beyond theme on this! =)

[robthestoner001]

Batman lost in time... I'll buy that. Its better then stupid assholes trying to take the mans cowl. Everyone just needs to chill the fuck out, Batman was a no show for like the first three months of No Mans Land (Well not exactly but Jim was all like 'where the fuck?') and then he showed up and saved everything and scared the shit out of Luthor. I mean, its not like this is the first time The Caped Crusader has mysteriously disappeared. He's the goddamn Batman!

[6094598]

well now since he was brought back to life during the darkest night series in the green lantern comics, people are gonna wonder whats gonna happen next

[VsxFedora]

@6094598 actually, it was a clone of him that was BRIEFLY brought back as a zombie during Blackest Night. Bruce is still missing right now. He's on his way back, though!

[TheMexicanSuperman1]

@VsxFedora so is he back now?

[VsxFedora]

@TheMexicanSuperman1 well are you going to tell me who this "he" you're referring to is? Because I have no way of knowing what comment you're replying to.

[TheMexicanSuperman1]

@VsxFedora oh sorry, I meant Batman like Bruce Wayne

[VsxFedora]

@TheMexicanSuperman1 yeppers, he's back in black baby!

[TheMexicanSuperman1]

@VsxFedora HECK YEAH! woot!

[Valkilmer89]

I personally think that Dick Grayson makes a great batman. He's mature, powerful, obedient, and very respectful, but it's obivious that Bruce will be back as Batman. I'm extremely sure that Bruce will be very proud of Dick for taking up the mantle, even for a short time. Went through hardships.

[00poxy]

OKay i read somewhere, ( no not in wikipedia ), but a web site that gives everything about the justice legue (or just dc universe in all) and that gives online comic books, they explain everything from final crisis to now, one of them (i forgot the name) explain how super-man and most of the justice league go through time periods to find batman, the way they found out batman was in the past, i pretty much forgot, but eventually they find him! thats pretty much all i know!

[Kcherry31]

@00poxy Hey what site is this. I need to catch up!!!!!!!!

[johnnybass33]

awesome story this pulled me in right away

[dorvil233]

dick grayson or Terry McGinnis do time travel to are time line

[AndrewDcon]

is it me or is the whole traveling through time stuff similar to captain america's death?

[AintRealProductions]

@ VsxFedora agreed

[DumFlip]

How did he switch realities?

[hulkster46a]

I quit collecting comics around 2004, I wish I hadn't. Looks like they are gonna bring Bruce back. I hope its done in good taste. And not just looking for a buck too be made.

[allhailmegatron1]

i hope when Bruce returns that dick stays as batman and bruce does somthing els like run for prez or somthing like that

[joe24021991]

aww dude thank you so fuckin much!!!!!

ive not been following batman in ages and was so totally lost ..... he was dead , he has a son i was like WTF!!!!!!!!

seeing that Batman is still alive its only a matter of time before he is back in good ol gotham and as for his son ..... well ..... hmmm we have Nightwing , Robin and i guess ..... a new robin or new character lol

thanks non the less for this vid

[Liamwitz]

No one can replace batman.

[TheVetoSkreeemer]

Yup , but from time to time they do it, remember Azrael as Batman, at first he looked promising, then his stories went down the sewer, one day they will replace him permanently.

[jorgpabl31]

@Liamwitz dick does it very well although i want that bruce comes back. It will very interesting

[supermanXL]

I'm glade Bruce is dead you can't live forever. it time for Dick to take his place. Bruce had his 5 decades and now his turn to be the dark knight.

[stitchgrl777]

This reminds me of Knightfall.

[ultimatemegadeath]

knightfall? knightfall...? seriously, i dont see the similarities between the two. with the exception of Dick being Bats instead of Jean-Paul.

[alfredozer]

what do you guys think? should they bring back Buce Wayn next year or so? because I think Dick Grayson being Batman is very interesting in my option and I love how Dick said "if I'm going to be Batman... it has to be me in there, not me just playing the part. I can't replace him. I won't. I have to honor the role, but... it has to be mine." I just hope they'll keep this up and I think they should bring back Bruce in 5 years or so.

reply and tell me what you think

[pctgraverobba]

5 years? thats way too long. i say a year an a half before bruces triumphant return should be sufficient

[stitchgrl777]

I think they should bring Bruce back NOW. I don't understand why people think the Cowl can be put on anyone and they will be Batman. It's like asking a supergirl to be Superman. It doesn't work like that.

Also, no one has Bruce's mind. He's first and foremost, a detective, and no one deduces the way he does. I miss him and am not interested in reading the new comics.

Also, Selina being all alone and mentioning Bruce here and there is just sad.

[VsxFedora]

I agree that Bruce is irreplacable, and is borderline-human when it comes to his mind and other skills, but there must ALWAYS be a Batman. Without a Batman, Gotham is no more. And there is no other person on earth or beyond who deserves this more than Dick

[stitchgrl777]

I agree, I think the world of Dick Grayson, but I can't help but mentally cringe when I open a comic and realize the man in the cowl is not Batman. It's a visual turn-off.  And he doesn't think or act like Batman. He's filling the void.

[526Gaijin]

Absolutely. And since most of us don't come from royal blood,this would be the closest thing we've got to someone we love and would want to see taking up their parent's mantle and responsibilities,lol. Dick deserves it.

[khalidKO115]

Couldn't have said better myself. DC cannot continue without it's greatest hero.

[526Gaijin]

He'll return. The greatest ones always do. Look at Hal Jordan.

Bruce will be back.

[hulkmeister23]

@stitchgrl777 U know, if Superman somehow went away, then I've always thought Conner Kent ( Superboy) would be the perfect successor much like how Bart took over Wally's place as Flash, just as Wally took over Barry Allen's.

[stitchgrl777]

You know, I completely see where you're coming from, and I love Wally West as the Flash. But I don't know too much about Barry Allen and never read any of his comics. I always knew there were 3 flashes and several green lanterns. However, there's always been ONE Batman. Bruce Wayne is as familiar a name as "Batman" where, for the other superheros, the alter ego name is more famous. Call me old fashioned, but there's seriously ONE batman in my mind.

[526Gaijin]

Yeah,I know what you mean. I got into DC* hardcore around the "Big Seven" JLA era,with West as the Flash and Kyle Rayner as GL. The only reason I know more about Hal Jordan now is because they brought him back. Same with Oliver Queen. And NOW they're gonna bring back Barry? Vintage character love aside,they should pick a Flash,pick a GL,pick a Green Arrow and stick with them. Stuff like this is why ppl always give DC* flack about their characters never being as iconic outside of the Big Three.

[hulkmeister23]

wut about Terry McGinnis?

[BlushGush]

I like Terry a lot, but as Amanda Wahler put it, he "lacks [Bruce's] magnificent brain, for example.". There's just no other Bruce Wayne out there.

[hulkmeister23]

@BlushGush A-men

[526Gaijin]

Yeah,I know! What's SHE gonna do now?? She and Bruce were FINALLY getting serious after all these years and the guy "dies" on her. At least if she starts messing with Dick she'll be able to say "that's not how your daddy used to do it".

Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnnn!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stitchgrl777]

Lol, I REALLY don't think she's going to mess with Dick. Remember in BTNAS, they had a moment where Selina seduced Nightwing? It was SOOOOOOOOOOO aggravating. I just don't see the cat going after the bird. Ever. She really really likes her rodents. :)

[526Gaijin]

Yeah,the episode "You Scratch My Back". Though she only got close to ol' Wingey to track the shipment of the jade diamond she was looking to acquire. I think Selina knows how to respectfully play with the 'boys' when she needs to. Surely she realizes after all this time that she's pretty much the 'momma' of the Bat-Family. Otherwise that'd kinda be like superhero incest,which is just wrong and kinda gross.

[526Gaijin]

Besides,a kitten as sultry as Ms. Kyle can't fill up on just a little bird,no no no. She likes her meals furry and furious with a nice long wingspan,know what I'm sayin? =D

[DRAI517]

@stitchgrl777 Actually, Bruce himself has admited that Tim is just as good a detective he is if not better. Look how Tim acts now compared to Dick, I still say Tim should be the temp not Dick.

[TheVetoSkreeemer]

@stitchgrl777 The original Question, Nemesis, are pretty good Detective s too, plus in Gotham, most of the Bad guys wear flashy costumes , make a lot of noise, Bizarro could figure most of Batman cases, they are waaay to obvious. Two More things, Dick makes a pretty decent Batman, i he is more human not so traumatized, and Shoul dn t Bruce Decide betweeen Selina and Talia , after all she is the mother of Bruce s son Damian, prety bad example this hero is making as a parental role model.

[asherleez]

isn't tim died

[VsxFedora]

No, he just got stabbed and barely made it to get medical care

[SuckingBallsYumYum]

@VsxFedora

Have you seen Batman : City Of Scar ???

it's AWESOME !!!

[ultimatemegadeath]

Jason died, Came Back as Red hood. Tim became Red Robin, like in Kingdom come. Dick is Bats, and rightfully so, Damien is now Robin (IV) and Bruce is a Zombie.

[stitchgrl777]

Damien doesn't deserve to be Robin. He's the spawn of the spawn of the demon.

[526Gaijin]

Yeah,he needs to be placed in comic book obscurity already. Hey,doesn't DC* have titles for characters who are while are interesting,just aren't good enough for whatever reason,for mainstream continuity? Oh yeah,I forgot....they're called ELSEWORLD stories!!!!!!!!!

Fuck the contaminated HORSE SHIT out of Damian 'Wayne'.

Disrespectful whiny piece of shit. And fuck the Demon's Head's whore of a daughter for trying to trap Bruce. Who the fuck does SHE think she is? He's the goddamn BATMAN!!!!!!!

[ark1671919]

@asherleez 1st Robin { Richard Dick Grayson(now Nightwing)}, 2nd Robin {Jason Todd ( Killed by the Joker)}, finally, 3rd Robin ( Tim Drake), the present Robin in Batman Comics and alive.

[Benjifritz93]

Batman cant die.

[VsxFedora]

Tell that to his re-animated corpse

[Zakisback1]

if jason todd was batman he would kill all the villains and criminals in gotham city and no one not even the police would stand up to him except bruce wayne himself and other heroes if they wern't fighting there own villains and had the time.

[biostyle]

Did Bruce return finally? Or was the picture of him drawing something on a wall the last thing you could see about him?

[VsxFedora]

Bruce will not be returning for maybe a year by my estimation. So Dick as batman actually has meaning and Bruce's whereabouts is one of the biggest mysteries in comics right now

[anchitjain23]

yeaa lol ]

dick is currently batman and damion the new robin.

Also one thing i wnna point out,

did u notice that there ws a funeral for superman when he died but nt batman.

thats cuz the world can do without superman that they dont fear opponents coming more

but for batman they kept it underwraps, no funeral nothing, they quickly had someone in the family take over nd learn.

bruce is the only one that everyone fears even in the universe from the league

[VsxFedora]

And they did'nt want anyone to know there's a new man behind the cowl and everything about batman is best kept 'classified' but there was a funeral but it was small and only certain members of the caped community got the memo

[asherleez]

whos that guy sleeping with batman in 2:04 or is that guy dead

[loggers21]

WITHOUT BATMAN THE EARTH IS DOOMED ok maybe exaggerating a little but still the same BATMAN i think would have some power but who knows in his return

[WenzelCORP]

You're not exaggerating I think you're right on the money. The Justice league needs the Dark Knight.

[blitzkriegdragon013]

(geek out mode) this is why batman is the greatest super hero ever he could even find a way to kill Dr.Manhattan

[monkey47monkey]

Batman FTW

[loggers21]

nope sorry guys nothing can replace batman !!!!!!!!! batman fan right here

[VsxFedora]

Read the recent issues of Batman...Dick is a more than competant Batman. But not as good as bruce obviously

[loggers21]

yeah plus bruce is still alive  but i want to see him become more powerful than he was before

[OverlordKaine1989]

Dick will have his pros and cons as the New Batman Pros better rallying and team skills (after all he has connections or has been in most of them) faster speed more acrobatic he introduced paracapes He puts a new spin on the Batman and Robin partnership. Cons less menacing than Bruce (hey Bruce is a tall built man, Dick was more acrobatic) less brute force (as i said Bruce is built) less of Bruces Detective skills (hey it took Bruce a long time to develop his skills too)

[VsxFedora]

Well, I would'nt say Dick is FASTER than Bruce, it's just that they're fighting styles would make you assume Dick is the speedy-lightwieght while Bruce is slower-but stronger. But Bruce also had paracapes, but Dick's new ones are meant for like sky-diving

[OverlordKaine1989]

I wouldn't say Dick is lightweight he's just trained in speed and acrobatics (circus family)

Yeah i know about the capes.

still you gotta give credit to Dick as after all he probably is the only other person who could take the mantle of Batman.

[VsxFedora]

Ya, I'm enjoying Dick as Batman. The only think I don't like is how much he talks but it's really fine, cause that's just who he is

[OverlordKaine1989]

Well considering you have the silent brooding Damien making the role of Batman and Robin flip you have to have Dick speak to keep the story going.

[TheGreatLegend007]

hey dick was batman before after knights fall he became batman for a while and he had tim as robin i have all thosebooks

[DjangoEX]

Even though it is an old comment it was Jean Paul Valley not tim

[Dousch]

I'm very confused and there is alot of talking about how he might have died and how he might come back. I'll just wait and see, hopefully he will turn up in the end of Batman & Robin. So far it seem to circle around his death alot anyway.

[VsxFedora]

OK I'll summerize: Bruce is in the past and it's only a matter of time before Booster Gold or someone brings him back or something. But for now, Dick is batman

[BlackPookie]

hey the image in 0:23 always confused me...

its a little weird. cuz it appeared in the first issue of batman rip right in the beggining but i dont know where it belongs...

is it in the time with damien as robin or is it in the part where tim and dick are fighting le bossu?

or it is bruce wayne in the cowl?

[VsxFedora]

O wow that's one way I never thought of looking at it...that's pretty cool actually. I always assumed it was Bruce (cuz he did'nt die) and Tim proving that Batman survived. But Grant Morrison's work is always confusing. If it IS Dick and damian, then it would make it seem like Bruce died when the helicopter crashed instead of in Final crisis.

[BlackPookie]

Bruce didnt die in the chopter... otherwise he woulndt be in the Final Crisis stuff

but that page is really awkward because it has no connections to anyplace in any other books!!!!

[VsxFedora]

Well, yeah I knew THAT otherwise I would'nt have made this video o.O and I had to go get the copy of RIP I have and look at it closely...still random and confusing

[BlackPookie]

sorry i didnt mean to be rude!

tony daniel art is superb but grant morrison is really a confusing guy!

[VsxFedora]

No it's cool, I did'nt take offense to that anyways. And ya, Morrison's work on Final crisis=d32j7d5;x,u428yz254-z.l­b8t9x,

[BlackPookie]

eheheheh

true!!!!

you have nice vids man!

[0willbecome100]

in the battle for the cowl poster who is the batman in between Tim Drake and Two-Face

[VsxFedora]

Oh, that's Jason Todd...And I think that's Damian Wayne at the left because Tim is in the bat-suit at the far right 2:18

[0willbecome100]

Oh I knew tat I meant the guy in front of the T Rex

because he looks the most like bruce

[VsxFedora]

ok then, that's Nightwing.

[0willbecome100]

But Dick is in a Suit on the far right next to Damian they're probably the next Batman and Robin

[VsxFedora]

Well, Tony Daniel draws Nightwing with long hair and not that built. Plus that Batman in the middle-ish wears the same suit Dick does in Battle For The Cowl.

[AyGul13]

The guy in a suit is Hush, in case you're still interested

[0willbecome100]

oh cool I know how BTFC ends now anyways

[mrgrand26]

Now, the plot makes sense. It's kinda like how they had the 4 Supermen after the Doomsday series. Only to bring the original Superman back in action. Red Hood as Batman is as overboard as Azrael was. I still kind of believe Nightwing will step up. That is until or if Bruce ever returns.

[VsxFedora]

Yeah, I was thinking that too. BFTC is JUST like The Death Of Superman, with the whole hero dying, weirdos try to replace him and the hero will make a triumphant return.

[buggszdaplaybuni]

what's the name of that song towards the end .?

[VsxFedora]

...if you don't know then don't watch anything Batman ever again.

[buggszdaplaybuni]

whoa, dont catch an attitude. i know where it's from just dont know the name faqqot

[VsxFedora]

oooh...I've never heard that one before. Pure originality. And the song's called "The Edge" by the way.

[buggszdaplaybuni]

thank you--

and next time redirect

your anger somewhere else

[VsxFedora]

...alright I'll try to remember the next time i have a "complete freak-out." and for the record I thought you were one of those retards that have never heard of "The Batman"

[buggszdaplaybuni]

no i actually love batman as well as some other anime characters--

and sorry for my insult

[VsxFedora]

It's cool.

[kakarot00676]

I hope NightWing becomes BatMan...

who else is fit to take up the cape and cowl?

the title in which he does should be

"Prodigal Son"

finally, Dick Grayson becomes a man...

[deraickripper]

prodigal son like... prodigal son? he was once batman and he failed... i hope he will do it better this time

[kakarot00676]

he was BatMan in Silver age I think... [not too sure]

lol...

he'll do loads better this time...

[VsxFedora]

Bruce Wayne always has been Batman. Golden, Silver,bronze and modern ages. But Jean-Paul Vallry/ Azrael took over for a LTTLE bit.

[kakarot00676]

and Dick Grayson was BatMan for Silver age for a lil while, just like Paul Valley...

thats what I meant...

[marvelking2009]

NiCe truely EPic

[Spiderman0816]

Hey this was awesome and those theme songs bring back so many memories.

[FowlPrey12]

Thanks for the update. We all now from the JL episode "Destroyer" that Batman can dodge the Omega Beams though, so that's why Batman's "death" is truly BS

[VsxFedora]

I've seen that one. It reminds me of Final Crisis and Knightfall. But Batman did'nt have too much room and he was'nt prepared like in that episode.

[deraickripper]

well this time batman didn't even try, he could shoot to darkseid from the shadows... the thing is batman choose that end

[kent0149]

This video is very accurate

the next batman is Terry Men-gin-is , Nightwing dont wanna be batman anymore, Tim Drake quited after the incident

[VsxFedora]

thank you.

haha like batman beyond! How do you know he'll be Batman? I know Nightwing does'nt want ANYONE to be Batman. Quited is'nt a word.

[kent0149]

I just watch like almost all the batman series on cartoon and look at his wiki and youtube vids about batman, Batman retired for like 10 or 20years and than Terry took over..

[kakarot00676]

um..

your forgetting...

Terry ain't cannon to Comic DCU..

he's only in the DCAU...

[deraickripper]

he is canon, he exist in earth 12...

[kakarot00676]

what...?

seriously?

[kakarot00676]

Terry Mcginis isn't cannon... he's only in the DCAU not the comic DCU

[kent0149]

yea i know

[DrDoomFate]

Nice, like the music from Tim Burton's  Batman

[VsxFedora]

Thanks. It was'nt exactly the Danny Elfman score. It was the opening from Batman TAS which wasd based off the 1989 movie's theme.
